DOES PROHIBITION OF POT REALLY WORK?
Drink and drive and it's grrrrrrrr-eat! Smoke pot and your flakes are
frosted, dude.
So seems the message from Kellogg, which has decided not to renew its
sponsorship contract with Michael Phelps after the Olympian was
photographed smoking marijuana at a party in South Carolina.
That's showbiz, of course, but the cereal and munchie company had no
problem signing Phelps despite a prior alcohol-related arrest. In
2004, Phelps was fined and sentenced to 18 months probation and
community service after pleading guilty to driving while impaired.
